jehurey 3,222 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 They have a specs page in which Data Storage capacity is 825GB. Not bad for PCI 4.0 SSD speed. Considering that 1TB of PCI 4.0 SSD would probably cost $200 or more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just processing every preorder then letting ppl know if they got in for launch (and then they can cancel if not). But yeah, these things are going to be sold out it seems. Still not up on Amazon so a chance there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,222 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Apparently, you can preorder in-store at a Gamestop right now. But they are expecting stores to have quantities of 10 for the disc version, and 2 for the discless version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,222 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 If you didn't find a pre-order tonight, and nothing happens tomorrow, then at least be ready for next Tuesday. Walmart is already signaling that they will open it up for more pr-orders on the 22nd. Quote Walmart says they'll have more #PS5 units available for pre-order on Tuesday, Sept. 22, including in-store. More console news coming tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,222 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Best Buy won't like anybody checkout while the PS5 is in their cart. So there's now a whole bunch of people in their cart, just trying to click checkout at the same time. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,722 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 A blu ray drive is like $30 difference at most but the price difference is $100. Expect Sony to stick to the disc version for the first 6 months were the hardcore are buying these consoles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expect Sony to stick to the disc version for the first 6 months were the hardcore are buying these consoles. I wonder if the PS5 can use the fast storage to make its blu-ray movie function as the fastest blu-ray player on the market. Or if it'll just use its regular designated memory. That $399 all-digital version ended up being the right marketing move. And ultimately they may end up making more money from those consumers because they will have no choice but pay whatever price is on the PS store. Sony gets to say "we kept the same graphics power, same resolution, same memory, and same amount of storage as the upper-tier version" It really does make the Series S look like it had too many things removed from it, that people will be enticed into paying $100 more for almost no compromises. And then they sign up for PS+, and Sony will just give them a large chunk of PS4's best games immediately to download on their all-digital console. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,222 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Jesus God Almighty, I was finally able to put in my pre-order through the Best Buy website after it was operating like utter shit for hours. I'd rather have my pre-order there than through Walmart. However, if I see that the resale market is high for PS5's, then I might just hold on to my Walmart pre-order. Not only that but I get 5% cashback from buying through Best Buy. I'd like to buy a RTX 3080 through Best Buy this morning, but I can't possibly fathom being able to put it in my cart and check out quickly in that piece of shit website. So I will be hitting the nvidia and BB websites at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
